Prints test page okay BUT.......
I doubt that a Win98 = Win98SE CD will have the correct files on it. The
usual method for adding Windows components is to install them from the original media (which would probably be Windows 98), then re-run the 98 to 98SE upgrade. The only 98SE disk that would work would be a 98SE install disk or a 95 to 98SE upgrade. Simply put, you need a full install disk.

In the process of leading me past the above hurdles, you might consider this: I have a CD which is to Upgrade 98 to 98ME. Do you feel that ME is more modern and maybe more complete? Incidentally I went to Microsoft download site looking for SPs for 98, and found nothing applicable other than an IE upgrade. I already have IE 6, good enough. Over to you...and thanks.

I used my WIN98Windows ME Upgrade (*ME*, not SE), and everything that I reported before is still where I am blocked. Re-read my notes and review where I am blocked, and in the light of 98 ME (not SE) perhaps you can shine some more light. And thanks for staying with me. -- William B. Lurie |

One important question: You're referring to Win 98 Win98SE .... My software is Win98Win98 *Me*. I do have the full install disk but hate to go back that far. Does what you say about SE apply exactly with ME also? The chipset and drivers that came with this XP machine are S3 Pro Savage DDR ....and I went to S3's site and found drivers for 98, all types. Downloaded them, copied them to 98 in a 'temps3' directory, and then booted up the 98 system. Dbl-clicked on the downloaded zipped file and it automatically unzipped in that directory. That's the good news. The bad news is that there is no 'Setup' or 'Install' or any executable file. Perhaps I have to install it via a Device Manager or equivalent. Could I impose on you for step-by-step instructions for doing so? And thanks again. /WBL/ -- William B. Lurie |

First off, there isn't a "Windows 98 Me". Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) was
replaced by Windows Millenium Edition (ME); it was short lived and fell in between 98 and XP Home. As to the install question from a couple posts ago, you need to redirect the install routine to your CDROM; it was looking for Secur32.dll on your main hard drive ("Copy from C:\Windows\options\CABS"). As to the display driver, 'Control Panel|Display|Settings|Advanced|Adapter|Change' should allow you to installed the updated driver.

Hal As I posted elsewhere, Hal, the display driver installed and I have good resolution. My next problem is now in the hands of the ME group, namely, I tried to install a modem and now am in a "not enough memory to run MS-DOS prompt", and I'm working with Mike Maltby there, who feels it is not a not enough memory problem, but system resources, 64K stacks, or some such. He's gone to bed already (U.K.) but when I sign in, early tomorrow, he may have sent me the next step to investigate. -- William B. Lurie |
